It is full of people who still believe they have the audacity to not call someone back, or that they can be inappropriate because it is over the internet. They Don’t Call Us is a place for gender minorities to talk about their struggles with sexism while dating and revel in their successes with self love and self care.

Cannibals of Love, curated by Ejecta Projects
On display April 1 – May 20, 2023

Cannibals of Love takes as its inspiration the romantic comedy genre in film and television – the “Rom Com” – to “cast” an exhibition that explores themes of love and humor.

This is an open-call. Visual artists are invited to submit works of art that are inspired by, critique, or reflect notions of heartache, summer flings, awkward love triangles, unlikely couples, one-night stands, unrequited loves, the “meet cute,” or other tropes of Rom Coms. More specifically, submitted works will explore romance and/or humor in relation to cinematically-scaled stories of pathos and eros.

Although the prompt might at first appear to engage with light-hearted frivolities, the curators seek a nuanced survey of contemporary artistic responses to love and power, as well as a diverse examination of relationships and romance. With the mention of cannibals in its title, the exhibition also welcomes investigations about the intersections of desire, appetites, and other perceived taboos and “improper” behaviors largely absent from or suppressed by Hollywood and Hallmark. Moreover, the curators invite critical approaches to the conventional heteronormativity, pervasive whiteness, and gender politics of the film genre.

Ultimately, the artists in the exhibition, selected for their range of perspectives, identities and works across visual media, will provide viewers with new and inclusive insights into the shared human impulses to love and laugh.

Other visual or experiential “cues” that the curators imagine could be pertinent include: period drama, summer blockbuster, forbidden love, unlikely pairings, doubts at the altar, attention-grabbing movie trailers, sequels, and celebrity, among others.

Open to all visual media, including film/video and text.
